Re: mixing gum arabic

Yes,
I was going to say the same thing, Maria--David just answered this question.
I was wondering if you aren't getting all the emails from the list?

I must add that my gum stuff I share is based on "a la Sam Wang", too. He
was my professor at Clemson for grad school. In fact, I term my tricolor
gum process the Wang process :) Of course I never got him to go with
glutaraldehyde because he doesn't size. Maybe now that he is returning to
some casein work, he might experience the benefits of it.

The benefit of my MFA at Clemson is that I received a Wang gum print as a
trade!! I am the proud owner of his work that is in Barnier's book (p.
238).

But that doesn't answer the specific: 1 drop 100% thymol per 5 oz. gum.

PS I got home to 150 emails on zone system--what a treat! Thanks all for
continuing the discussion so I can learn more.
